Since his first offerings began making the Internet rounds i
n 2009\, Toro Y Moi’s Chaz Bundick has proven himself to be not just a pro
lific musician\, but a diverse one as well\, letting each successive relea
se broaden the scope of the his oeuvre. The funky psych-pop of 2011’s Unde
rneath the Pine evinced an artist who could create similar atmospheres eve
n without the aid of source material and drum machines. His Freaking Out E
P\, a handful of singles and remixes\, and a retrospective box-set plot po
ints all along the producer-songwriter spectrum in which he’s worked since
his debut\, and this year’s third full-length\, Anything In Return\, sees
him poised directly in the middle of the two. Since then\, Bundick has pr
oven himself to be not just a prolific musician\, but a diverse one as wel
l\, letting each successive release broaden the scope of the Toro Y Moi oe
uvre.
